Ex Sabre Vladimir Tsyplakov passed way, age 50.

Some of you might remember him from their cup run in 1999. He scored 33 points in 70 games for the Sabres. Apparently, he has had health issues over the last several years.

Frolik?
Holy crap, is that rumor a joke to see if anybody is paying attention?

8 pts in 33 games, 4 coming in last 4 games.
31 and $4.2m pending UFA.
Why the hell even bother.

Yeah, that's a Sobotka. Gotta believe we could do better.

The Mark Jankowski idea feels similar to Frolic as well

Turris?

Is it April 1st, lol?

12 pts in 24 games isn't horrible, but $6m for 4 more years when he's 30 now and declining hard...projects to play about 65 games, if that this year, played 55 and 65 the last 2 years.
He'll take Okposo's place as worst contract.

Henrique.
Good player, will be 30 at end of Jan.
4 more years at $5.8m
45 average points, ok on the dot.

I'd be in if his contract was for 2 years remaining.
Those extra 2 years at $5.8m as he declines when our SC window opens, that's a killer especially with Okposo here...dealing with both would be suicidal.

Hard pass.

It's about (frank)ing time. Maybe this will help him in his development.

My proposal included sending Okposo to the ducks.

Him and Thompson developing chemistry together and dominating the AHL would be quite nice.

Then hopefully the both of them can crack the lineup next year along with Cozens and we have a functioning middle 6.

Hopefully this will be something like when Roy and Pominville played in Rochester, lit it up and never saw it again.

Now is the time to start using picks to acquire established talent.
